British Spiritualists' Lyceum Union

Founded in Manchester in 1889, bearing the same relation to Spiritualist churches as the Sunday School Unions to the churches of other religious communities. It aimed at the intellectual, moral, and spiritual development of children along the lines of Andrew Jackson Davis's vision of children in the Summerland. The BSLU encountered financial difficulties in 1940, and it eventually merged with the Spiritualists' National Union in 1948.
